I am including all crimes in this argument. If someone is considered to be below the age at which he or she is considered to be able to comprehend the ramifications of his or her actions, then he or she should be considered to have shifted to the category of people who are able to comprehend the ramifications of his or her actions simply due to the nature of the actions.
This is not my opening argument, this is just me clarifying the position I am defending.
Pro and Con must argue within the context of a system that has definitions for juveniles and minors as exists in the USA. It is not allowed to argue in terms of systems with no such demarcation or systems with a demarcation based on merit rather than age.
Round 1: Only acceptance
Round 2: Opening arguments, Pro argues that prosecuting juveniles as adults should not be allowed and Con argues that prosecution of juveniles as adults should be allowed.
Round 3: Rebuttals, no new arguments
Round 4: Counter Rebuttals, no new arguments
Time limit: 48hrs/round.
18 is an aribtrary number. what really makes sense is considering whether the defendent has the sensibilities of an adult. the system now looks at hte person as a whole to make this determination. someone shouldn't be able to get a lighter sentence just because they killed someone at 17 when a day later they are legally an adult.
Pro and Con must argue within the context of a system that has definitions for juveniles and minors as exists in the USA. It is not allowed to argue in terms of systems with no such demarcation or systems with a demarcation based on merit rather than age."
I specifically said that this debate is confined to debating a system where there is a cutoff. I also defined round 1 as acceptance only. Please present an argument that fits the debate, not one that is outside the realm of this debate.
i see round one was acceptance only. aside from that i dont see that there's anything wrong.
The current system bans people under the age of 18 from participating in many activities. These include smoking, filming pornography, voting, serving in the military, purchasing firearms, etc. This is supposedly because they are considered to lack the cognitive capacity to either understand the potential consequences of these actions or to be trusted with that power.
The only time we make exceptions for this is when someone makes a profoundly stupid decision, and this seems to be a result of the blood lust people have with respect to crime. They want someone to pay.
This seems to define adult as a person who is profoundly stupid since highly advanced students cannot apply to be called adults and thus vote. If a 12 year old can be charged with murder, it stands to reason that there are 12 year olds who should be eligible to vote, have sex, purchase firearms, etc.
This is not, however how our system works. My argument is not that if a system existed where your legal rights and responsibilities were tied to your maturity, then people under 18 should not be prosecuted as adults. That kind of system would make sense and then age would be a non factor. I am arguing that in a system with a set cutoff for adulthood, having a special rule allowing someone to skip ahead to being called an adult because the person displayed a lack of intelligence is not justified.
con says if juveniles are banned from things like voting they should not eb tried as an adult. it should go the other way though, if some kids are mature enough to be tried as an adult, they should be allowed to do things like vote. just because the system doesn't ensure this though doesn't mean we shouldn't try those kids as an adult. the system doesnt have to be consistent. it is in the name of justice and common sense that someone a few days from being an adult might be able to be tried as an adult.
X is a few days from being an adult, so prosecute X as an adult. Y is a few days from a few days from being an adult, so prosecute Y as an adult. Z is a few days from a few days from a few days from being an adult, so prosecute Z as an adult.
The idea that someone is close enough to an adult just means we have pushed an arbitrary cutoff back a few days to a new cutoff. Then that same reasoning says that if someone is very close to the new arbitrary cutoff, the person should be prosecuted as an adult.
This sounds like a slippery slope argument, but it has actually happened.
The acceptance of prosecuting juveniles as adults has been used in such a way to where we now have pre teens being charged as adults.
A 12 year old and a 13 year old charged as adults.
Two 12 year old girls charged as adults.
12 year old boy charged as adult.
10 year old charged as adult.
According to the equal justice initiative, there are at least 10, 000 children housed in adult jails and prisons. Some of them are serving life sentences for crimes committed when they clearly could not have understood the consequences of their actions.
I agree that if we had an adjustable system, then charging a 17 year old as an adult could make sense, but being able to arbitrarily adjust the rate as you suggest being able to do leads to the very real consequences I have demonstrated.

Reasons for voting decision: First 2 rounds were a bit weird. In round 1, I thought Con started arguments, but Pro seems to think Con was trying to change the definition of juvenile (because round 1 was acceptance only, I guess). In round 2, Pro calls Con for rule-breaking, and then skips arguments altogether, while Con says round 1 was acceptance only (does this mean Con WAS trying to change the definition of juvenile? I have no idea, so I'm calling round 1 & 2 a bust. In round 3, Pro associates "tried as an adult" with other pre-adult banning: smoking, voting, etc. Pro argues adult-like responsibilities should be treated equally regarding age cut-off. Con agrees with Pro's basic premise, but not with the need for consistency. The debate was essentially dead-locked at this point. In round 4, Pro uses a reductio on Con and ..... forfeit? Really? That's to bad. Pro gets arguments since round 4 was not refuted and conduct for the forfeit.

I hope everyone that had a chance to read my part one blog enjoyed it and gained a little extra knowledge. As I mentioned, part two is going to be focused on the difference between projects and programs. When I say projects and programs I want to talk about Vulnerability Management and Penetration Testing. I know a lot of people may just blend the two terms together but there are slight differences because a program is a long-term commitment to keep milestones and projects have milestones too but they tend to be much shorter.
The first thing you need to evaluate is your staff. I am saying this because you need to understand the skills everyone on your security team (if you have a security team) may have and how you can utilize those set of skills. Once you know the extent of everyone's capabilities you should agree on the direction the organization should move into to start building your security posture. I know there is a hierarchy system and that is how decisions are made but I am a huge supporter of making decisions based on the team's opinion. You are only going to keep moving forward if everyone is on the same page.
A perfect example of a project is a penetration test. I want to start with this one basically because I want to get it out of the way because it seems to be the biggest attractions for a lot of companies I speak with. I get it you, you want to see what information can be stolen from you if you experienced a breach. That is a scary thought huh? You want to see what your business is going to lose in a controlled environment. A lot of people have zero desire to know that information because they already know it is going to be a disaster. If you have no security practices in your organization, it will absolutely be a disaster. You are asking a vendor to break into your house and you do not even have a backdoor on your house. I am going to say this one-time IT IS OK TO GET PWNED DURING A TESTING PROJECT. Your whole goal is to start making yourself more secure, right? Well the only way you are going to do that is by taking some punches. With that being said, I suggest this goes a little lower on your to-do list until you have other layers of defense inside your environment.
Que the program! Are you doing patching? If you said no, you need to make this a top priority on your list right now. Those open holes are the locks you are putting on your doors and windows with your patching program. But Jasper, doesn't patch Tuesday take care of all that for me? It does not take care of everything for you. A Vulnerability Management program is a comprehensive approach to the development of a system of practices and processes designed to identify, analyze and address flaws in hardware or software that could serve as attack vectors. There are multiple tools that can help you, a couple of those tool are Qualys and Tenable. I am not going to get into the differences between them but they are both great options. For starts, for starters you need to understand the functionality and if your team can properly identify the critical vulnerabilities.
Circling back to the second paragraph when I mentioned knowing your team's skill set. It is not unordinary that y
our team is going to struggle with identify which patches to go after first. Everyone struggles with this task because you are going to have a HUGE report once the scan is done. Bringing in an expert team is recommended, I do not mean hire a handful of people directly, unless you have that capability then do it! Bring in an MSSP that has the experience in that specific practice and can work side by side with your current team. The knowledge and value you are going to gain by working with a team that does VM all day is going to grow your internal team's experience level significantly.
As budgets become tighter and tighter for organizations I know you are seeing dollar signs right now because these two additions are not going to be free. Saving money is important, I think about the sce
ne is Tommy Boy when he is smashing the cars together and the new guy is in the corner puking his guts out, all because the customer wanted to save a couple bucks on brake pads. I cannot stress this enough, bring in the professionals, your vendor knows it may not be a lifelong relationship. If your team can do the job after 2-3 years then your vendor did the job they should be doing, educating their clients and helping their organization grow and helping secure your critical assets.

Your friend or relative can give their GP permission, either verbally or in writing, to discuss their health with you.
If you have consent, you can speak to your friend or relative's GP about their health.
You can raise concerns about your friend or relative's health with their GP without their consent, but because of patient confidentiality, the GP won't be able to discuss any details.
A GP can only intervene if a friend or relative needs treatment under the Mental Health Act (1983).
This act allows some people with mental health problems to be compulsorily detained in a psychiatric hospital.
The Care Quality Commission website has more information about mental health and the Mental Health Act (1983).
But if you agree, the GP may be willing to tell your friend or relative that you're concerned about them and may suggest including you in some of the discussions.
You can speak to your own GP about someone else's health, but they won't be able to discuss a specific case.
Although your GP could help you understand how to provide support, it may be quicker and easier to get information elsewhere.
If you're concerned about a friend or relative's health, there are many ways for you to get information and advice. For example, you can:
You could talk to your friend or relative directly if you wish to discuss their condition or treatment. Tell them about your concerns about their health, and offer help and support.
Sometimes it can be difficult for someone to see or admit they have a health problem – for example, if they have a drink or drug problem.

In English law, nobody can give consent to treatment on behalf of another adult. Only the person receiving the treatment can give their permission for it to go ahead.
If a person's condition means they're unable to make a decision about their treatment – for example, if they have dementia – the healthcare professionals treating them must act in the person's best interests.
But you can apply to become someone's deputy if they "lack mental capacity".
This means they can't make a decision for themselves at the time it needs to be made. They may still be able to make decisions for themselves at certain times.

Turks & Caicos Travel Guide
The Turks & Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory. Geographically they are very similar to the Bahamas and extend 37 miles south of the Bahamas. Of the 40 islands and cays spread around two large shallow sand banks, only 12 are inhabited. The 31,000 residents host over a million visitors a year.
The name Turks comes from the indigenous Turk's head cactus, which is a small, green, cylinder shape cactus with a bright red top that grows up. It is said to resemble the fez hats the Turks use to wear during the Ottoman Empire. The name Caicos is from the native Lucayan term "caya hico".
My Visit
I spent over two weeks sailing around Turks & Caicos in December 2011, after arriving from the Bahamas. I spent several days anchored in Sapodilla Bay as I explored Providenciales (Provo) waiting for my best friend to arrive. We spent time in South Caicos before heading to the Turks Island group and working our way up the chain. After a week and a half, we jumped offshore and sailed to the US Virgin Islands.
Likes, Dislikes, and Recommendations
For me Turks & Caicos was two sides of a coin. I did not care a whole lot for the Caicos Island group. I mean there were some interesting historical sites and the beach at Grace Bay, where the resorts are, is world class, but I just did not get a great vibe while there.
The Turks Island group on the other hand, I cannot say enough about. Grand Turk has a great wall dive and a museum for the oldest shipwreck in the New World, while Big Sandy Cay is a desert paradise. But the crown jewel is Salt Cay, which use to be one of the biggest salt producers in the world. When you are there make sure to visit Porters Island Thyme bar and he will give you the skinny on anything happening around the island (do me a favor and tell him I said hi). Also, if you can get a tour of the "White House" you will not be disappointed.
Below you can get even more helpful hints by watching the two travel videos I made for Turks & Caicos. Also, you can read what all I did there in my blog posts located below the videos.

My friend got me the best pencils ever, Brother got me some beautiful sunglasses, Airport goodies,
Lola in the skin, Hand-in day made me happy, Lovely flowers.
The past week has been a stressful one with uni deadlines, but- it hasn't all been bad I've done a fair amount of shopping. I've got a few new things to try out so keep a look out for some new reviews, I also booked my flights to Hong Kong this week so i'll be spending the first month of summer there and I can not wait!

I do not have your normal 8-5pm, Monday-Friday job. I get one weekend off a month, so when that time eventually comes around, things tend to get a little bit mad.
To kick it off, my friends and I met up at a local sports bar and restaurant called Mos On Rex, otherwise known as The Best Damn Place In Town!
We watched South Africa absolute annihilate Italy in the rugby match and had a good old celebration after our big win.
This guy right here is most definitely the best guy in all the world. He is everything to me and my dearest, dearest friend. I am the luckiest lady ever.
We started our day off with the most amazingly relaxing massages at the spa, followed by a mini road-trip just outside of town to our local surf spot. For winter, the weather was delectable! So we soaked up the sun and watched the waves roll in while drinking double vodka's with dry lemon with a couple of other mates of ours.
We ended up getting slightly too tipsy as we made our way back into town to a half price sushi special! A few more bottles of wine later and we were merry as can be and waiting for my two friends from my European Contiki tour to join us.
It was so amazing to see them again. When I saw Roxy in the parking lot I literally ran and jumped into her arms, wrapping my legs tightly around her waist and clinging to her like a small child... my over-excited reaction may possibly have been wine-induced.
We all slummed on the sofa's when we got home and passed out watching The Green Lantern.
Not exactly the crazy, boozy evening I had expected with them but they had driven a long way and we had been nailing our livers for the entire day already.
The next morning we had a coffee and watched Homeward Bound in bed, before Matt and I took a stroll around the island I live on. It was another beautifully sunny day so I took them up to The Heads to a breakfast and lunch cafe called East Heads Cafe, otherwise known as The Best Damn Place To Get Eggs Hollandaise... EVER.
We had to part ways after breakfast and it was a really hard goodbye. They are the first people I've seen from the Contiki trip since getting back last month. Most of the others are still floating around Europe and meeting up in places like Greece and Spain... I am so envious!
Hopefully I'll be seeing a few other Contiki-ers in the December holidays though which I am very excited for.
What did you all do this weekend?
Hope everyone is having a fab week so far.

Star CursedBook - 2014
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Loved the first book, love this one too! The second book in the Cahill Witch Chronicles is just as exciting as "Born Wicked" with the twist and turns of Cate and her sisters and Finn. I couldn't stop reading- it was written so beautifully that I could really connect with the story. (The ending had a big twist and you would just want to get onto the next book. :P) I love the Cahill Witch Chronicles!!! <3
The second book in the Cahill Witch Chronicles, "Star Cursed" brings us back to the New England world of witches, oppression, and prophesy with an otherworldly new tale of the Cahill sisters. Full of romance, intrigue, and betrayal, Star Cursed is a thrilling sequel that ends on a cliff hanger that will leave you screaming for more. The plot is intensified ten times, and the characters you loved in the first book will make you love them even more. Let this be a warning, anyone with an impatient-fan girl-syndrome should read the ending with caution, I repeat, read it at your own risk!
Cate has given up all her hopes in order to save her sisters and the man she loves. Now as a member of the Sisterhood--a secret group of witches masquerading as an order of nuns--she faces the immense pressure of being "the chosen one," because an oracle years before foresaw that one of three sisters, one gifted with mind-magic, would lead the realm out of the tyranny of the Brotherhood and into a new golden era of magic. But when a new prophesy is made by the current oracle--Brenna--that one of the sisters will also be gifted with the Sight, Cate comes to question her role in everything. With her sisters arriving at the convent as well, and Finn's arrival in New London, Cate is surrounded by choices, by friends and enemies, and must choose whether to lead or follow. And if that choice is made incorrectly, everything will be lost.
Cate, the eldest sister, was once again such an independent and charismatic heroine to follow. We left off in Born Wicked thinking she was the prophesied witch that everyone was looking for (naturally the main character just HAS to be the chosen one *says it sarcastically*). But it seems like that's not the case… She has matured and grown so much in this book both emotionally and power-wise. She went from always being the mother hen actually letting her sisters be themselves and it was such a beautiful thing! When she realizes that her magic isn't all bad, that's when she was able to let go (LET IT GO! LET IT GO! CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE) and becomes someone whom the readers could truly root for. Moving on to the second sister Maura, now this is a different story. The only new thing I learned about this character is that she is pure evil plus a spoonful of stupidity. She really hasn't learned anything from her experiences, and her actions only seems to escalate, she is better at being conniving, bitter and all around sinister! I wonder if the first book's title is inspired after her… I'll admit there are moments in the book when you can see how truly vulnerable she is, and though those moments are rare, my heart sympathize for her in those precious seconds. That is until her fits of jealousy emerge and you see how horrible she can be. The things she says and does to Cate is just heartbreaking! She's lucky her older sister is Cate and not me. Tess, while she was already a great character in Born Wicked, we see her in a much more mature role in Star Cursed. She is such a loveable sister that I just want to give her a big hug. Filled with stunning revelations and heart-wrenching turns, Star Cursed is an excellent sequel. And with its shocking ending it's sure to grip you nice and tight before the plunge into book three.
i didnt get through this but its a good book what i read. i do plan on reading it at another time
Amazing sequel! This series has captured my heart, all the characters are so strong and they feel so real. Jessica Spotswood has created a world for women to fear and yet at the same time a revolution is coming. I can't wait for book 3, you can tell there is so much more to come from Jessica!
SummaryAdd a Summary
Cate Cahill and her sisters-Maura and Tess, return in the second book of the Cahill Witch Chronicles, this time, things are different.
Cate has sacrificed everything for her sisters' safety. She has now joined the Sisterhood- a hideout of witches- and with the Brotherhood arresting girls like never before, the Cahill sisters are at sake. Even more dangerous, with the prophesies and the knowledge of the oracle.
And when Maura and Tess join the Sisterhood too, Maura shows she is determined to want to lead the witches and win the spotlight of victory, no matter what it takes. Even if it means big sacrifices. And big betrayals. Even if it means war.

Alaskans, and millions who love Alaska, support changing the name of Mt. McKinley to Denali. And that is exactly why President Barack Obama's unilateral decision to change the name is so wrong.
When we allow leaders to bend the rules for popular policies, we create bad precedents for them to bend the rules for unpopular ones. The name ought to have been changed through a legislative compromise, or a consultative administrative process–not by fiat.
I have personally spent a good deal of time in Alaska, including a journalism internship in Anchorage and thesis research on the North Slope. I have hiked solo in the Denali National Park (in 1996, above), and had the luck to witness wolves hunting caribou by the Toklat River. Never once in my time there did I call the mountain anything other than "Denali." Nor did I ever meet an Alaskan, Native or otherwise, who referred to the peak as "Mt. McKinley."
Still, few regarded the name of the mountain as an urgent problem. It was just another one of the ways in which the federal government, with which the state has a love-hate relationship, had interfered in what locals consider their own affairs. (Another, far more significant intervention is the federal government's habit of locking away large parcels of land from oil and gas development–a trend that Obama has continued during his administration.)
The name "Mt. McKinley" was enshrined in a law passed by Congress in 1917. The Obama administration argues that a clause in the 1947 law creating the U.S. Board of Geographic Names allows it to act on its own if the Board "does not act within a reasonable time," and that U.S. Representatives from Ohio have tied up the name change for decades after Alaskan political leaders voted to recommend restoring the original Athabascan title ("the high one").
But it is not clear that the 1947 law trumps the 1917 law, and Obama cannot issue executive orders, or executive memoranda, contrary to an existing statute.
Due deference to Congress–as well as to William McKinley's home state of Ohio, which has long resisted changes to the name–would suggest that Obama should have urged Congress to resolve the dispute, or at least allowed public comment on the name change, while searching for other ways to honor our 25th president.
Instead, Obama acted out of sheer vanity, timing the name change with his Alaskan visit.
Except for the most offensive names–and there are a few–changing place names and tearing down monuments often does little except offend people for whom those symbols are a valued heritage. Typically, name changes are the unique obsession of failing post-colonial regimes that have run out of ideas to improve the lives of their citizens.
In my native South Africa, where I lived and worked after writing my college thesis on Alaska, the post-apartheid government remains fixated on name changes, even as the country's economy struggles and crime ravages the population.
Over time, some parts of South Africa–notably the City of Cape Town, which is governed by the opposition–developed a process of consultation that, at least in theory, balances historical values against the country's new aspirations, and mediates between the competing desires of different constituencies.
We in the U.S. could learn from that. There are "teachable moments" that we are missing–even in dropping symbols like the Confederate flag.
The Denali debacle is a "teachable moment" about tyranny. Two wrongs do not make a right, and the switch from Mt. McKinley to Denali, whatever its substantive merits, is an affront to the Constitution, and an abuse of power.
Update: A follower on Twitter speculates that Obama may have been motivated to dump McKinley as part of his radical Cuba policy. McKinley was the president who helped liberate the island from Spanish rule–a fact that Obama has ignored in his rush to parrot the Castros' anti-colonial narrative. I doubt Obama had that in mind, any more than he wanted to degrade McKinley for being a Republican, or celebrate the anarchist who assassinated him, or revive the antisemitic populism of Democrat William Jennings Bryan, whom McKinley defeated twice.
But Obama's Cuba shift is relevant, because it is another case of a popular policy that Obama is enacting outside of his executive authority. By letting Obama cut constitutional corners for policies the public favors, we create a faulty foundation for the sake of those the public rejects (like the Iran deal, which remains overwhelmingly unpopular).

JEREMIAH 31: 31 – 34 speaks about the New Covenant that, God would make with His people. He says, " I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbour and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Today, we who are gathered here on this first day of the 'Season of Creation', listen to a 'Green Covenant' from God, where He writes 10 Green Commandments with our heart.
We who are gathered here on this day 1st September 2017 at the EDEN Eco-Spirituality Centre, Othera, for the 'World Day of Prayer for the Creation', pledge to honour and obey this 'Green Covenant', as we continue to be the Creation of the Creator God. Amen.

On some issues, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg invokes wisdom that was given form in the distant reaches of time. Not being the most introspective of men, he may not even be aware he is doing this. Nonetheless, on certain matters that he cares deeply about, Mr. Bloomberg echoes concepts expressed 2,000 years ago by a titan of Jewish scholarship, Hillel the Elder.
Clyde Haberman offers his take on the news.
The Day
Clyde Haberman offers his take on the news.
Five years ago, when the mayor announced his blueprint for a more environmentally friendly New York, he seemed to channel his inner Hillel when he said, "If we don't act now, when?" He won huge applause with that line.
He has now returned to that theme in rebuking both President Obama and Mitt Romney for summoning little more than isn't-it-awful and we-share-your-tears sentiments after the insane movie-theater shootings in Aurora, Colo. Where, Mr. Bloomberg asked, is the substantive discussion about reining in a gun culture that worships Second Amendment absolutism over preserving life?
Monday morning, he appeared on the MSNBC show "Morning Joe." That program's co-host, Joe Scarborough, had aligned himself with those who say this isn't the time to talk about even minimal, sensible measures of gun control. It is "unbecoming" to do so right after the cataclysm in Colorado, Mr. Scarborough said. "Let's have this debate in a week," he said. "Let's have this debate in two weeks."
Sure. Why not in two months, or two years?
Mr. Bloomberg, in another Hillel moment, was having none of it. "People say, 'Well, you shouldn't address it now because we're in a time of crisis and mourning,'" he said. "Yeah, well, 18 months since Arizona" — the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and others outside Tucson in January 2011 — "and we did nothing. If not now, when are you going to do this?"
When indeed?
In all likelihood, the mayor's latest comments will lead to more invective aimed at him by the National Rifle Association or its fellow travelers. To them, he is practically Public Enemy No. 1. Mr. Bloomberg is used to it. If one is judged in part by his enemies, he may even welcome it. Nor may he mind criticism clearly directed at him by the ever-voluble Chris Christie, New Jersey's governor. Mr. Christie complained on Monday about "politicians who in the immediate aftermath of this kind of tragedy try to grandstand on it." Considering the source, the mayor is likely to shrug that one off.
Not that Mr. Bloomberg doesn't run off the rails himself at times. He did so last week when he described the New York Civil Liberties Union as being "no better than the N.R.A." in its criticism of the Police Department's so-called stop-and-frisk policies. Both groups, he said, were more concerned with "protecting their ideology" than ensuring that people can walk the streets safely. This linkage seemed a stretch worthy of Silly Putty.
But he was on the mark when he described himself as different from lawmakers and others at the national level who do not have to live with the consequences of their actions or their inaction. A mayor, he said, has no such luxury, a point painfully reinforced Sunday night when another gun-toting lowlife fired shots in a Bronx playground and killed a 4-year-old boy, Lloyd Morgan.
"Mayors are in the solutions business," Mr. Bloomberg said, adding that "all we're talking about here are reasonable restrictions" — like regulations that might have made it more difficult for someone like James E. Holmes, the suspect in Aurora, to build a 6,000-round arsenal by ordering ammunition online.
At a minimum, "we don't have to break new ground here," he said. "All we've got to do is follow the promises that were made by the elected officials" — he meant Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney — "back when they were pandering and said, 'We're going to fix this problem.'" Later, interviewed by Piers Morgan on CNN, he went so far as to suggest that police officers around the country might consider going on strike until the public insists that lawmakers do more to get guns off the streets.
"To those that say, 'Look, this is about gun control,' it isn't," Mr. Bloomberg said on MSNBC. "It's about crime control." Then, in yet one more Hillel moment, he essentially invoked the ancient sage's "if I am not for myself" question.
"This isn't about somebody else," he said. "It's about you and your kids."

The JWP Technology Vision Statement is to provide all individuals in our educational community the opportunity to become life-long learners and effective users of information and technology. This commitment will provide all members of the learning community (students, staff, parents and businesses) with equitable and complete access to information technologies for teaching, learning, management and support of schools.
2013-15 Technology Plan
Technology Coordinator
After leaving Waldorf College I then enrolled at Mankato State University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. During my time at MSU, I was involved in coaching basketball at couple of neighboring schools. After graduating I started working in the Maple River School District as a Technology Assistant.
Since that time I have worked at couple of area schools as a Technology assistant including 3 years at Bethany College in Mankato as the Help Desk Administrator. Upon leaving Bethany I was employed in the private sector for 7 years at MICO, Inc. in North Mankato as the Help Desk Administrator and Email administrator, till I was hired here at Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton Schools as the Technology Coordinator.
I have 2 boys Connor age 16, and Caleb age 13. I umpire baseball at the College, High School and Town team levels in the spring and summer. I enjoy golf in my spare time, watching sporting events, and various other activities.
I have found my time with the District to be exciting and challenging at the same time. The changes we have made, both in the technology and the overall District, in that have been very significant and substantial.

From the Garden: Pasta with Wild Onions and Chives
So simple and yet so good. Cut a fat handful of wild onions from the garden, added 10-12 chive stalks from John's plant (raw materials pictured here), sauteed them in butter, added some leftover pasta, then seasoned with salt and pepper. Next time, I'll saute them more - till they're meltingly tender versus a bit al dente. Nonetheless, the dish made a yummy and satisfying afternoon snack for two.

Split Pea Soup
Time has leaped forward and spring is sproinging, but I was in the mood for split pea soup nonetheless. On the advice of one of the Canales butchers, I made sure to procure smoked ham hocks for it - and I think that's made a delicious difference, at least compared to the soup mixes I used to settle for. My recipe's mostly based on this one, albeit with less oil, less water and more aromatics; it also took far longer to cook on my finicky stove (I regret losing the bones for the last half hour, for example). It's a good, solidly-flavored soup, with a lovely smoky depth from the hock (though I only used water, not stock); next time I'll probably add some garlic, keep the bones in the entire time, and start experimenting with spices.
- 4 tbsp. olive oil (could probably make do with less)
- 1-1/2 c. onion, diced (one huge one)
- 3/4 c. celery, diced (about 3 thinnish stalks)
- 3/4 c. carrot, diced (about 1-1/2 medium ones)
- 1-1/2 lb. smoked ham hock
- 1 lb. split peas, rinsed and picked over
- 6-8 cups water or broth (used 6)
- salt and pepper to taste
Add the ham hock (recipe says to score it but I'm not sure why, except perhaps for ease of meat removal later - and it didn't seem to make that much of a difference, convenience-wise), peas and water. Bring to a boil then simmer, uncovered, till peas are almost but not quite disintegrated - recipe says about an hour, took nearly two on my stove.
(Note: Some like to puree some or all of the soup; I prefer as-is slight chunkiness.) Remove the ham hock and let it cool. Season the soup to your liking. Remove the meat from the ham hock, shred it, and use it as garnish for the soup.
NOTE (20 March): The above picture was taken maybe 30 minutes-1 hour before the soup was actually done the way I like it - almost thick enough to be a stew.

Mackerel Simmered in Soy Sauce
Bittman's recipe was simple, easy and flavorful - perfect over white rice with a side dish of butter-sauteed enoki and a bottle of Jennifer's Jamabalaya. Recipe, with a couple of tweaks, reproduced below.
UPDATE, 8 Jan 2010: Doubled this recipe, skipping the water and using mirin instead of the sake and sugar. Also tasted wonderful.
Put the fish in the skillet, skin-side down. Simmer till done (when the fish is opaque, about 7-10 minutes).
Serve on a plate with white rice and some of the sauce, garnished with scallions.
UPDATE, 8 Jan 2010: Doubled this recipe, skipping the water and using mirin instead of the sake and sugar. Also tasted wonderful.
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup sake
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 8-9 thin slices ginger, peeled
- zest of 1 lemon, grated (about 1 loose, heaping tbsp.)
- 5 garlic cloves, crushed
- 4 skin-on mackerel fillets, 1-1.5 lbs.
- 1-2 scallions, chopped
Put the fish in the skillet, skin-side down. Simmer till done (when the fish is opaque, about 7-10 minutes).
Serve on a plate with white rice and some of the sauce, garnished with scallions.

Getting to Know You: Enoki
The corner store recently revamped and expanded its veggie section. Though I have yet to visit, John brought me proof of the change in the shape of a 7 oz. bag of enoki (which, surprisingly, comes bagged with its roots intact). While most of the recipes produced by a quick Google search used them raw in salads or as soup garnishes, I thought I'd give them the standard mushroom treatment first: saute with butter and shallots. They turned out well, crunchy and flavorful, like umami-filled bean sprouts, with a sweet richness from the other ingredients. With a bit of salt and black pepper, they were a very good side dish for the soy-braised mackerel and rice we had for dinner.
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1 medium shallot, diced (about 3 tbsp.)
- 7.05 oz. enoki, trimmed about 2 in. above the root and separated
Add enoki. Sprinkle lightly with salt and cook, stirring often, till slightly softened but still crunchy (about 5 minutes on my stove). Season to taste and serve hot or warm.

Butter-Braised Leeks
A quick but hearty post-gym dinner. Followed this Bittman-based recipe, substituting 1/2 cup of water for the tomatoes and reducing the resultant liquid quite a bit. Delicious with buttery couscous and tangy-sweet tomatoes - also reminded me why leeks are one of my favorite things.

Leek, Potato and Mushroom Soup
The soup that keeps on giving - just finished the last bit today, but it's featured in two other packed lunches this week and a few meals at home besides. The recipe is courtesy of the talented Flit, who I encountered via the Mr. Bento Flickr pool; my halved and tweaked version is below. My first attempt turned out extremely tasty, though a bit watery, partially because I had more stock than expected. Next time, I'll lessen the amount of liquid (and probably reduce what I do use a bit more beforehand); I'll probably also keep the increased leek and carrot proportions and cut down the dairy a bit.
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 3 large leeks, white and pale green parts, sliced (about 4 cups)
- 2 medium-sized carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
- 8 oz. mushrooms
- 2 russet potatoes, diced (about 2. cups)
- 5-6 cups chicken stock (homemade this time - next time I'll use less and reduce what I do use)
- 1 tsp. dry dill
- 1 tsp. dry thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup half-and-half (will try less, maybe 1/2 cup next time)
Add mushrooms, potatoes, black pepper, dill, thyme and bay leaf; then add enough broth to cover by 1-2 inches. Simmer till potatoes are tender (around 20-30 min.).
Remove from heat. Stir in half-and-half.
If possible, let sit a few hours/overnight, then reheat before eating.

False workers' comp claims lead to more than $40,000 overpayment
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -Anita Maxwell, 55, surrendered herself to the Superior Court of California, Division 30 in Los Angeles County yesterday on 14 felony counts associated with insurance fraud. A California Department of Insurance investigation revealed that Maxwell, featured in season four of the reality series "Bridezillas", allegedly submitted fraudulent documents and made false claims to receive more than $40,000 in undeserved workers' compensation benefits.
"Taking advantage of the workers' compensation system is not only illegal, but costly to all Californians who pay for this fraud through higher premiums," said Commissioner Dave Jones. "These types of fraudulent claims are an insult to legitimately injured workers."

Big Brother gets smaller -- but creepier
Exclusive: Phil Elmore speculates about usage of new camera-equipped contact lenses
We live in a world of total surveillance. Big Brother, as envisioned by Orwell, was an all-powerful state, whose cameras and two-way viewing screens kept constant watch on the populace. The perverse reality of the future Orwell envisioned is that – despite various domestic spying programs – it is not our government keeping the closest tabs on us. No, the most surveillance and reporting on our movements, our interests and our speech is performed by Americans themselves.
Our smartphone cameras see everything – and we are only too happy to upload every detail to social media. The Internet, our public square, has become the means through which we glory in our narcissism, shame our fellow citizens, and promote countless private and public interests. It's a double-edged sword that cuts most deeply because we ourselves are wielding it. There is no stopping this total surveillance because there is no limit to our interest in ourselves … but technology may soon make it that much easier for us to surveil one another.
Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have invented a camera small enough to be injected into your body with a syringe. Paul Monckton reports in Forbes that this "works by directing ultrashort laser pulses into a liquid which hardens at the absorption of each pulse, gradually forming a microscopic lens element. Excess liquid is then washed away." He explains, "[The] team has used 3D printing technologies to create a triple-lens camera only 0.1mm wide, smaller than a grain of salt. … This process allows any lens shape to be created, including multi-element lens systems which allow for the correction of optical aberrations and therefore much greater image quality than a single lens."
It sounds like highly theoretical work, but already, the Stuttgart team is demonstrating results. They have, as Monckton writes, "already demonstrated the full process, from optical design, through to manufacture and performance testing, complete with example images and performance results. One technique involves printing a lens directly onto the tip of a single piece of optical fiber, which could have a dramatic impact on endoscopy, where much smaller optics could dramatically reduce the size of medical instruments. The nano-lenses could also be used to create tiny illumination systems, as well as miniature drones and robots with autonomous vision. [The team] claims camera-equipped drones no larger than a bee would be possible. This opens up exciting, and perhaps scary, possibilities for covert surveillance operations, being considerably smaller than currently-available spy cameras."
If this technology represents the bleeding edge of what's possible, it only emphasizes where consumer-ready tech is headed. The furor over Google Glass might pale in comparison to concerns over contact lens cameras. Sebastian Anthony, reporting for ExtremeTech, alerted readers last month that Google has invented a contact lens with a built-in camera. The device would conceivably give anyone "superhuman Terminator-like vision."
"Google has invented a new smart contact lens with an integrated camera," he writes. "The camera would be very small and sit near the edge of the contact lens so that it doesn't obscure your vision. By virtue of being part of the contact lens, the camera would naturally follow your gaze, allowing for a huge range of awesome applications, from the basis of a bionic eye system for blind and visually impaired people, through to early warning systems (the camera spots a hazard before your brain does), facial recognition, and superhuman powers (telescopic and infrared/night vision)."
Anthony explains that the lens would have a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera sensor below the pupil. It would also have a control circuit and some means of wirelessly receiving power. It could conceivably be matched to the color of the iris, making it functionally invisible (although, given paranoia over cellphone radiation, it's anybody's guess whether beaming power to your contact lenses is bad for you).
"As you can probably imagine," Anthony continues, " there are some rather amazing applications if you have two cameras embedded in your contact lenses. You can't do much in the way of image processing on the contact lens itself, but you could stream it to a nearby smartphone or head-mounted display ([such as] Google Glass), where a more powerful computer could perform all sorts of real-time magic. Google suggests that the cameras might warn you if there's oncoming traffic at a crosswalk – useful for a normal-sighted person, but utterly invaluable for a blind or partially sighted person. … [Y]ou can also imagine the possibilities if police were equipped with contact lenses that could spot criminal faces in a crowd, or a bulge under a jacket that could be a concealed weapon." There are even military applications, according to Anthony – but he downplays the potential privacy concerns.
One of the primary objections to Google Glass frames was and is that someone wearing the device could essentially be pointing a camera – and recording with it – anywhere his head turns. Those being recorded would have no way of knowing. The always-on, always-there technology is both more overt and more discreet than contemporary smartphones. You know the individual is wearing it, but you have no idea what he's watching, recording, or transmitting. Now put a couple of cameras on the surface of everybody's eyeballs. Suddenly, the world is a little scarier.
Customer preferences are notoriously fickle and often difficult to predict. If Google Glass cost as much as the average smartphone and could be had in any cellphone store, it might be more common. It's possible, though, that consumers would balk at the notion of wearing the nerdy frames. When the technology becomes invisible in the form of camera-equipped contact lenses, that's going to change. People will be lining up to get the latest technology when the user experience becomes transparent.
That's great for those whom the technology can help. It's also potentially very dangerous. We are our own worst enemies when it comes to public surveillance. Every point of data we create and make publicly available is one that can be exploited. Quite simply, despite our very valid concerns about government overreach, we have already met Big Brother – and he is us.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - June 15, 2017) - Two well-known mining companies are combining efforts to bring a mine into production in Argentina, currently a mining hot spot.
Company included in article: Golden Arrow Resources
Golden Arrow Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GRG) (GAC.F) (GARWF) and Silver Standard Resources Inc.'s joint venture in Argentina was announced in April. The two companies joining forces has allowed Golden Arrow to add "mining and operations" to its company description and has given the junior more capital to invest in itself and other projects.
At the recent Ifinannternational Metal Writers Conference, Golden Arrow's VP of Exploration and Development, Brian McEwan, highlighted that Golden Arrow is "valued at CA$100 million" with accrued earnings of $20 million since signing the deal with Silver Standard.
In a May 24 article, "How Undervalued is Golden Arrow Resources?", Peter Epstein supported Golden Arrow's view on why the JV deal with Silver Standard has upside.

Weed in Albania. Communist party headquarters in Bulgaria. Homeless people in Budapest. My favorite travel blogger. I enjoy every post, they are all unique and original! And the pictures are awesome too. Hope he posted more often.
How can you describe Twisted Sifter? Eclectic appears to be an understatement. I get this feeling that my life being is enhanced with what appears here.
Ok, not a blog technically. What they do is find flight deals. I recommend following them on Twitter. I get their tweets on my smart phone and I get excited every time. I also wished my home airport was not Detroit! Move fast, they go quickly!
The blogs appearing here is what I love to read myself! It is my own opinion ONLY!

Canon 6D shooting in RAW only and using the Canon Camera Connect software on an Android phone. I saved some photos to the phone like i always do so I can show people their images, etc. so i know i had the images. But when i downloaded the photos i noticed some, including the ones i downloaded on the phone were not on the card. By the image numbers its missing like 50 files! YIKES!! i 2x checked the card, since i havent formatted it yet, and there are 50 files missing, and you can tell by the time date theres a half hour missing. I knew i had them on the card originally since i downloaded some onto the phone. I do remember changing cards as i was asked to do video once i got there but it was too dark, and i wasnt hired to do video anyway. I checked the other cards i have and no luck.
Could a card drop files? If i didnt have them on my phone it would not be such a mystery, but i know i had them originally.
have an important job this weekend so i am not using that card, and hope its not a camera issue...
thought appreciated.

Let's continue our how to make money online series of talks with make money online-учител,Talk more about placing a Facebook ad !,as we'll need to look at how to create a "status update" on your fanpage, which will create clicks to a specified offer.
Keep in mind ученици,that the switch to the social advertising media has significant differences from SEO and PPC. In SEO you need to create significant value, to your blog,as you strive for page postion on search engines. Especially in B2B commentary,albeit,the B2C blog tends to be more socially oriented commentary.
(See Frassady's audio: Frassadys'make money online audio-differences between B2B and B2C Blogs).
PPC is direct advertising,and once your keywords have been properly researched,marketers bid on keywords or phrases,pertinent to their target market.Ad placement position is based on the strength of your bid. Facebook has a similar bidding algorithm that the search engines use,but this algorithm is based on the social following by persons in Facebook audiences,and the audience response will dictate the actual cost per click or CPC.
So basically for this make money online Facebook advertising forum,you set the CPC to establish page position in the PPC system,but in social network advertising,social following and response rate sets the CPC-unless you set the CPC "manually".You'll see that email marketing's concept of split-testing is also carried over into Facebook's social advertising algorithm.
So keep in mind,that as you develop your fan page (take a look at: Make Money Online – Insegnante,Tell us more about Facebook Marketing and Methods),you concentrate on getting likes,and adding interesting social media,like pictures of your family,what you are all about as a person.We discussed getting likes in the above blog post,but you can also get likes,by joining groups that are in your niche,and then posting in those group pages.
So obviously the internet marketer is not only interested in social awareness and online social interaction,but also marketing their offers.You do this with a "status update".So, if I'm marketing Matt Lloyd's MOBE,and I want to invite inquirers to a webinar,I would write a post called a status update on my fan page,with a link (to the webinar) at the top of the update.
Another concept borrowed from email marketing.Recollect the dictum: "keep the link above the fold"?So what the ad will talk about is callled the "page post engagement" ad. Recall for our make money online Facebook advertising seminar,that any images that are installed in the Facebook News feed or the Mobile News feed,must be less than 20% text.
The Right Hand Column ad is exempt from this rule. So i'll create a status update,and I've talked about MOBE,and given a link to Matt Lloyd's webinar,in the upper part of the update. Now go to the Ad Manager=>my ad account=>create new ad=>click "page post engagement" and then =>add your fan page=> now i'll find my Matt Lloyd status update and click on that.
Now in "Ad Preview and Placements" remove from the "Desktop News Feed" and remove from the "Mobile News Feed".So your ad will be placed in the "Right Hand Column". Leave "Text and Links" blank.The "Tracking Pixel" is a bit more advanced, but go here to learn how to get the snippet of code: https://www.facebook.com/help/435189689870514/.
You do not need to install this now. Next for our make money online Facebook advertising symposium, fill in the "Audience". "Country" select US; note,for a different Country you'll need to create a separate ad.Select your "Age Range",i'll put 24 to 67.Select "Gender",based on your offer,so i'll put M and F."Language" is English and "More Demographics",you'll choose the demographic that fits your offer.
The more specific the smaller the reach.Skip "interests" and "behaviors". Facebook's algorithm will help get page views,as only a small percentage of your fans will visit for a status update.Now under "Connections" check "only people connected to your fan page".
The ad "name" would be Frassadys and MOBE webinar Page Post engagement ad.The "set name"is "target fans" to which you can add the location of the ad,so mark as "Desktop Newsfeed".Remember you'll always have the three locations for each ad, so specify each location for your reference.
Under "Pricing" set your daily budget,i'll set for $5.00/day.Then check "run my ad continuously starting today". You can also set a start and stop date and time.Under "Bidding" choose "optimize for clicks". This is where the Facebook algorithm works: click "Automatically optimize your bid to get more clicks". The CPC will be higher, but this will be more efficient,and you'll get more targeted traffic.
If need be,you can "manually set your maximum bid for clicks" (CPC),the bid range is between .26 and .65 cents per click.However keep in mind for our make money online Facebook advertising discussion, that the clicks will include clicking the "likes",and clicking the "see more….",as well as the actual link to the offer. Bear in mind that Facebook advertising, like other forms of advertising requires significant testing.
Now "Place Order",then "create a similar ad",add to the "Mobile News Feed" and remove from the "Desktop News Feed". Leave everything the same, "place order" => "create a similar ad" =>add to the "Right Hand Column" and remove from the "Mobile News Feed".Now we have 3 page post engagement ads: The Right Hand Column, the Mobile News Feed, and the Desktop News Feed.
So you'll rename each with the appropriate suffix. So the page post engagement ad will be Frassadys and MOBE webinar-RHC,Frassadys and MOBE webinar-MNF,Frassadys and MOBE webinar-DTN.
Now we want to get outside our own sphere of influence and capture inquirers from another well known person,obviously with a large following.So we create another ad in the same Campaign.
So for our make money online Facebook advertising huddle,"create ad in Campaign"=>select your fan page=> then select your status update or post."Audience"=> Remove from Mobile News Feed and remove from Right hand Column,so you'll be creating for the Desktop News Feed.
Go through the ad particulars and set: Location, Age Range,Gender,Language,and Interests. Under "Interests" think of who'd be interested in your offer. For MOBE, I could target affiliate marketers, and just about any type of online marketers,also newbies and persons looking to make money online.You can also target persons who you know will command a large audience.
Be sure the audience meter is over 75,000 persons.But only target one prominent person,as to split test,you'll need to come back and install a second ad.So I could start with Frank Kern in the internet marketing realm. If I wanted a much larger audience I could go with say Zig Ziglar or Nick Vujicic.These inspirational speakers would command a large audience.
Remember however,only one at a time, to gauge the CTR,or the amount of clicks you receive. So for our make money online Facebook advertising powwow, if the Zig Ziglar audience is not clicking, the CPC will go up.Target the "more demographics" option appropriately to your audience.Be aware that most of the options are available only in the US.
At "Connections" click "only people not connected to your name". Recall our first ad in the campaign was targeted to fans.The Campaign name is the same. The ad set name is the suffix of country and age:"US 24-67″- Kern.So the audience is the person's audience to whom you're pointed in this ad set,in this case Kern,unless you opt for Ziglar or Vujicic.
Set $5.00 per day and "run ad continuously starting today". "Bidding",click "automatically optimize your bid to get more clicks". "Place Order=> Create a similar ad=>add Mobile News Feed=>remove Desktop News Feed=>"Place Order"=> Create a similar ad=> add to Right Hand Column=> remove from Mobile News Feed=>"Place Order"=>"continue".
Check your new three ads under this campaign and rename with the appropriate suffix.
Ok ученици,i'll need to put a wrap on this make money online-учител,Talk more about placing a Facebook ad !, but we'll talk more about Facebook Advertising in future blogs.Recall we'll need to discuss website conversions,clicks to website,events and offers. I'll leave you with an interesting thought though: If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

This application proposes a genomic prognostic study in osteosarcoma, a relatively understudied cancer with high incidence in younger patients, the molecular underpinnings of which are incompletely understood. Outcome is highly variable and there is a lack of well-studied prognostic factors that would allow stratified management decisions. A major challenge is the relative disease rarity and the lack of widely available well annotated frozen tissue resources. We recently published preliminary data analyzing miRNA expression and sequencing profiles from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) osteosarcoma tissues generating testable hypotheses with strong relevance to osteosarcoma clinical outcome. In particular, a strong prognostic miRNA profile has been identified which, interestingly, appears to be clustered mainly in one chromosomal location.
In Specific aim 1, we propose to validate the candidate miRNA prognostic profile in an adult cohort, and a pediatric cohort utilizing data from a large Children's Oncology Group based cohort In addition, we will test for independence from, and potential synergy with, relevant clinicopathologic data such as chemotherapy induced necrosis.
In Aim 2 a novel approach will be tested aiming to develop dynamic miRNA expression models capturing the effect of chemotherapy on the tumor, by utilizing paired pre and post chemotherapy specimens from biopsy and resection, respectively. The hypothesis is that they will offer additional powerful prognostic insights specifically relevan to chemoresistant patients.
In Aim 3, deep miRNA sequence patterns will be studied in order to explore their relation to expression profiles and potential prognostic significance.
In Aim 4 miRNA sequencing will be extended to serial specimens from biopsy, chemoresistant resection and metastasis in order to identify evolving sequence patterns signifying the metastatic phenotype which may not be easily detectable via a """"""""snapshot"""""""" test at diagnosis, due to low abundance. These unique patterns may ultimately be relevant to overall survival outcome and to the observation that many patients with recurrent tumors can still survive a long time with further treatment. Our proposal takes advantage of the unique treatment patterns in osteosarcoma, which include serial biopsies and resections following chemotherapy administration in both primary and metastatic disease, resulting in availability of serial patient specimens during routine care. Additionally, patterns revealed in these Aims will also be studied in FFPE specimens in order to provide the basis for definitive large scale clinical application in the futue. This multi institutional and interdisciplinary proposal utilizes cutting edge genomic technologies and brings together a team of experts in osteosarcoma, genomics, and computational biology and biostatistics from all institutions within the Dana/Farber Harvard Cancer Center.
Osteosarcoma is a cancer with a high degree of clinical and biologic complexity that disproportionately affects young adults or children with a very variable clinical outcome. Despite their complexity, therapeutic approaches, with rare exceptions, have not advanced in almost 20 years, to a large degree because there are no reliable tools to predict their outcome. This grant proposal will utilize cutting-edge tools of tumor genomic analysis to allow improved stratification according to prognosis, so that novel targeted and rational therapies can be developed.
